Starting in 2019, Utah will become the first state in the country to lower the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) “legal limit” to 0.05. Every other state has a BAC legal limit of 0.08. The term legal limit refers to how much alcohol you can have in your blood while driving. However, in Arizona, it is possible to get a DUI even if your BAC is BELOW the legal limit.

There are a lot of misconceptions about DUI law out there, and about how long it takes for alcohol to leave a person’s system. Often when we talk with clients who have been charged with DUI, they are confused about how they got there.
